I don't have one of those, but if you post a picture of yours I should be able to sex for you, as long as he/she isn't too young, that is.
How old is he/she?

Hmm, it's a bit hard to tell if I'm seeing male specific feathering or not.

So do you mind getting another picture closer of the area I circled? Slip your hand underneath the feathers so it's easier to see their shape, and take a picture.
If the feathers are long and pointy, its a cockerel. If they're round and shorter it's a pullet.

Do they show any male behavior at all?

I will tomorrow. She's very sweet, not dominant over the other chickens, no crowing. Has squared up with a very obvious rooster we had that hatched the same day, but so had my other girls...

Behavior is sounding like a girl so far.
